Five Things People Don't Know About Me

5. I like talking with people, but I hate the phone. It's an evil invention that interrupts your life. I avoided buying a cell phone for years - in fact, it wasn't until my wife became pregnant that I found a good reason to own one (a cell phone, that is, not a wife).

4. I'm so bad at dancing that I can't even do the two step without tripping. No joke - I tried.

3. When I was a little kid, I performed locally as a ventriloquist (my dummy's name was "Jerry Wiggins"). I even won a few talent shows, but gave it up after a couple of years.

2. I flunked out of college the first time around (yes, I was studying computer science at the time).

1. Screw pessimism - I'm still waiting for The Beatles to get back together.
